question about affidavit for conditions removal

[semidevil 12]

we have been together in the U.S more than a year now and we are due to file the conditions removal in June (green card expires in sept). Looking over the evidence requirement, I'm actually nervous about this one:

".....Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration of cer as to the information contained in the af davit.) The original af davit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the af davit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Af davits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above. ...."

​As weird as it might seem/not seem, we really tend to keep to ourselves, and so far, haven't really met or made any friends. We each have our individual co workers, but haven't all gotten together once. Right now, I can only think of 1 person/friend who has met us both and be a witness to our marriage, but besides that, that is it.

Is this going to be an issue? The only thing I can think of are family members, but would that be okay since they are relatives?

It is only necessary for an affidavit if you do not have a lot of evidence to support a good faith marriage.

ya, affadavits are optional, but people do use them if and only if the evidence of financial co-mingling is sparse or non-existent.

thanks....just to make sure....this requirement is listed under the 'required evidence' section (#5). Is it not a true requirement?

Please note the following in the included attachment. The yellow box, the red box, and finally the blue boxes.

Affidavits must be supported by other evidence. The evidence listed are examples. You include as much evidence from the start of the marriage to the current time as you feel is necessary to support the I-751 petition.
